YREKA – A Yreka man is in custody after allegedly burglarizing Old Skool Ink, the Yreka tattoo shop.

Cody Dylon Setzer, 20, is charged with burglary, possession of stolen property, possession of a controlled substance and committing a felony while on bail.

Shortly before the Old Skool Ink burglary, the owner of the business reported a burglary at his residence, explained Yreka Police Department (YPD) Sgt. Mark Gilman. Then, on Feb. 3, the owner reported that his business had been burglarized.

Gilman noted that during the investigation at the business, there were no signs of forced entry, and the perpetrator’s entrance route is unknown at this time.

“The business owner reported that several thousand dollars worth of business equipment and personal belongings were missing,” said Gilman.

Among the items reported missing from both the business and residence were guitars, multiple firearms, computers, jewelry, a safe containing a number of keys, tattoo guns, tools and a flat screen television.

Gilman said the victim identified Setzer as a possible suspect based on his past dealings with him.

The following day, while YPD was completing its report and investigating the case, officers responded to an unrelated report of a disturbance at a Yreka apartment complex.

According to Gilman, when officers arrived, Setzer was at the apartment, and nearly all the items that were allegedly stolen from Old Skool Ink and the business owner’s residence were recovered from the apartment.

Gilman noted that multiple firearms reported missing have not been recovered, and some other missing items are still outstanding.
